Create beautiful fall embroidered decor with this free embroidery design. Using just three stitches, you will enjoy hand stitching this autumn thread art.

Fall is in the air. Or at least it was until last week. We've had a cold snap here, but hopefully it's fall in your neck of the woods. I created this fall leaves embroidery with a free printable pattern for you.

Free Fall Embroidery Design

I love having a project that I can pickup for a few minutes here and there. I think that's why I love embroidery so much.

It's not something that requires a lot of thinking or planning beyond the initial gathering of thread. I can work on it anytime, whether I have five or ten minutes or an hour.

I love creating seasonal embroidery projects, like this love embroidery, this stitched Lucky sign, or this spiderweb embroidered collage.

I decided I needed something for fall. Something I could keep out after Halloween until Thanksgiving. This is what I came up with.

Stitches used in this embroidery pattern

I only used three different stitches in this pattern, the backstitch, the satin stitch and the fishbone stitch. The backstitch is pretty basic, but I would consider the satin and fishbone stitches more of an intermediate stitch. They're not hard, but they do require a bit more attention to detail.

If you haven't used these stitches before, I've linked how-to videos below:

Backstitch - use this for the pumpkins and the branches
Satin Stitch - use this for the letters
Fishbone Stitch - use this for the leaves

Hope you enjoy this fall embroidery pattern. Send me a picture of yours (tag me on Instagram, or email me: contactdiymom@gmail.com) I'd love to see how they turn out!
